Resignation of Faculty Members
Notification of resignation by a University faculty member is expected to be early enough to allow the college to make the necessary arrangements for staffing the faculty member’s courses. For faculty members who teach, it is expected that such resignation from employment shall be effective at the end of a fiscal year. Thus, in any particular year, the final date for tendering a resignation for a faculty member who teaches is March 1, to be effective June 30.
A faculty member of this University may inquire into, and consider the acceptance of, an appointment elsewhere at any time and without previous consultation with his/her supervisors. It is agreed, however, that if a definite offer follows, he/she shall not accept it without giving such notice as is indicated in the preceding paragraph. He/She is at liberty to ask his/her superior officers to reduce, or waive, the notification requirements there specified, but is expected to conform to their decision on these points.
Faculty who resign are responsible for participating in an exit interview with the Exit Interview Officer. They are required to return keys, all items owned by the university and complete all necessary paperwork for departure. Please note that failure to do so will result in the final paycheck being withheld.
